| Brief Description | Science
fiction game which can be used as a roleplaying game and/or a tabletop tactical combat game.
The basic game is played using counters on a hexgrid, but optional rules detail the use of
miniatures without a hexgrid. The rulebook covers land warfare only (air and space combat
are in the supplements). The book includes vehicle construction rules, army lists, and
a weapons guide. |
